Binder Wrap Analysis considering Gravity, Contact and Friction

접촉과 마찰을 고려한 바인더 랩의 유한 요소 해석

The stamping process consists of two stages : First, the blank is held by the blank holder and then it is further formed into the die cavity by punch stroke. In actual stamping process, the accurate prediction of binder wrap is an indispensable step in sheet metal forming analysis because the initial plastic buckling induced by improper die design is directly related with fatal defect at the final stage. In the present work, an approach including the gravity effect of blank material and proper consideration of contact and friction is proposed. Computations are carried out for some actual auto-body parts using 3D FEM code to investigate the validity of the proposed methodology. Comparisons with experimental results show that the suggested scheme can be effectively applied to the precise prediction of binder wrap for arbitrarily curved die faces in which gravity and contact effect must be taken into account.
